Chownybass Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi What would you call this kind of bass bridge if I was to search for replacements/alternates to it? - Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It's a floating bridge like this isn't it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hofner-Spares-Bridge-Ebony-Violin-Club-Bass-H7220B-/191147254614?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c8143a356 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chownybass Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Floating Bridge. Ta! How the heck do I set the intonation? :-? - Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Loosen the strings a bit and move it around until the intonation is as close as possible. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 This is for a guitar but the procedure will be the same http://youtu.be/hNET0yt9J8E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chownybass Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Thanks mate! That should be good. Looks like the saddles pull out and push in. It's mostly fine except the "D" string. - S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That's alright then. Most of the notes on the D string can be found on the A string anyway. You simply need to learn to move your fretting hand up and down the neck faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
